Five Quick Ways to Rejuvenate Over the Weekend
During the week, you’re a fast-flying, hard-working machine. Recharge over the weekend with these five easy indulgences:Treat Yourself to a DIY Pedicure

Soak feet in warm water infused with a few drops of your favorite essential oil, like rose or gardenia, and buff away calluses with a pumice stone. File nails short and straight, and finish off with two coats of polish in a fun color. For summer, try coral, vibrant pink, or shimmery taupe.

Sip on a Fruit Cooler

This refreshing, healthy, and budget-friendly treat takes just minutes to assemble and will keep you feeling great all weekend. Slice up a few oranges and lemons, place them in a pitcher, and fill to the top with filtered water. Let the whole thing chill in the fridge for a couple of hours before enjoying. Other great combinations: halved cherries with lime; cubed watermelon with mint; and lemon with rosemary.

Get Outside

Grab a floppy straw hat and some sunblock, then indulge in a relaxing afternoon at a nearby park, garden, lake, or conservatory. In a pinch, even a stroll through the outdoor plants section of a home improvement store can be a terrific mood booster.

Whip Up a Homemade Hair Mask

Help your hair recover from weekday abuse with this nutrient-rich recipe: Thoroughly mash together one ripened avocado, one tablespoon organic honey, and two tablespoons olive oil. Apply from roots to ends, let sit for 20 minutes, and shampoo out.

Reclaim Your Home as a Sanctuary

On busy weekdays, home can feel like it’s just a place to eat and crash. Remind yourself why you love where you live by opening up the windows, turning on a fan, and letting the breeze in. Light a vanilla-scented candle, stretch out on the couch, and luxuriate!
